Soccer

Colombian coach is shot, paralyzed

In Bogota, Colombia, Colom­bian soccer coach Luis Fernando Montoya is paralyzed from the neck down after being shot during a robbery.

Montoya, who led Once Caldas to this year's South American club championship, "has not shown any movement of the body and is using a ventilator for breathing," doctors said in a statement Thursday.

Two men and two women suspected of involvement in the shooting have been detained.

Montoya was shot twice Wed­nesday as he tried to protect his wife from robbers outside their home in Caldas, about 170 miles northwest of Bogota.

Doctors said one of the bullets struck him in the neck, hitting his spinal column and leaving him paralyzed from the neck down.

- The German soccer federation warned potential spectators Thursday against buying World Cup tickets from unauthorized agents, saying they could be prevented from entering stadiums for the matches.

The DFB, which is especially fearful of fraud on the Internet, won a court ruling it hopes is the first step to limiting ticket problems for the 2006 World Cup in Germany.

A Frankfurt court barred an unauthorized German firm, which had been advertising "VIP" packages at inflated prices for the Confederations Cup in June, from selling tickets. The federation saw the ruling as a precedent for the upcoming World Cup.

- Players on the U.S. soccer team made a new proposal that the U.S. Soccer Federation called inadequate, and it remains uncertain whether untested players will be used instead of the regulars for a World Cup qualifier in February.

Players made a new proposal Monday, union head Mark Levinstein said, but it wasn't to the liking of the USSF, soccer's governing body in the United States.

Hockey

Moore criticizes ruling on Bertuzzi

In Toronto, Steve Moore says he has been forever changed by Todd Bertuzzi's blind-sided punch to his head in an NHL game last season.

He is still feeling the effects from the attack on March 8, when Moore and the Colorado Avalanche played Bertuzzi and the Vancouver Canucks. And to make matters worse, Moore is upset that Bertuzzi was able to reach a plea bargain with prosecutors that made it impossible for Moore to be present for the sentencing hearing on Wednesday.

Bertuzzi won't serve any jail time, and if he performs 80 hours of community service and meets his probation requirements, he won't have a criminal record.

Moore's hockey future is much cloudier. He declined to go into detail about his condition, but said doctors have told him the resumption of his playing career is uncertain.

Bertuzzi pleaded guilty and received a year's probation in which he is not allowed to play in a game against Moore.

Skiing

Austrian star's case settled out of court

In Vienna, Austrian ski great Hermann Maier has settled out of court with a German insurance company over the 2001 road accident that nearly ended his career, his lawyer said Thursday.

Karl Heinz Klee declined to reveal the terms of the settlement between Maier and the insurer of the German driver who was found negligent in the accident.

Maier underwent seven hours of surgery after his motorcycle crashed with the car near his hometown of Flachau in August 2001. Doctors inserted screws and a titanium rod into his leg, and grafted skin from his left arm onto his right shin.
